thanks very much, patrick... it means a lot to see that you dig our band. i also like maritime and a lot of bands that aren't really together anymore. the etiquette, the obsoletes, the benjamins, and carolina were all great and i miss them.

I don't get out a ton any more so I'm not all that familiar with the local bands. However, a couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were out and caught a little of a Milwaukee band called "Five Card Studs". They were hilarious. They were a parody of 70's lounge bands. They sang songs like "The Love Boat" and "Moonlight Feels Right". The lead singer just acts it up to a tee with the shirt buttoned down 3 or 4 buttons and the big sunglasses.

Brian, I saw Beatallica on the Rock Stage last summer. Good stuff!

 

I don't like The Beatles, but as long as they are playing Metallica style, that's good by me.

my band, Louis Tully (www.myspace.com/louistullypartyprogram) ...we're on tour right now in and are currently in Pensacola...but if you like punk music at all check out these bands: Beach Patrol, Mad Swirl, Modern Machines, Yesterday's Kids, Holy Sh_t!, THe Kind Of Jazz Music That Kills, Ifihadahifi, Bear Proof Suit, Mistreaters, Lefty Loosie, Uh Oh, Dinosaur Pills, Tuff Bananas, Catholic Boys, Leghounds, Jetty Boys, and obviously Boris The Sprinkler

 

All awesome.

 

Oh, and whoever said they liked the Obsoletes, check out Yesterday's Kids cuz thats Justin and Tim from the Obsoletes...the only thing that really changed was the drummer (who was in the Benjamins) and if you can find it anywhere check out the Screwballs, also Tim and Justin, but the songs were completely high school type lyrics...pretty funny stuff

[And That]

In no order from the Twin Cities off the top of my head... Heiruspecs, Dan Wilson, Gary Louris/The Jayhawks, Vicious Vicious, Dosh, To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie, Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Mason Jennings, Basement Apartment, Owls, Cloud Cult, The Come Ons, Kid Dakota, um... I'm forgetting quite a few. But I LOVE our local music scene.

 

 

Not Prince.

Yeah, I'm familiar with Yesterday's Kids... I'm friends with those guys. Justin from the Obsoletes engineered/produced our full length this past year. He's a super talented guy.

In the Wausau area, hard to beat The Bad Downs. http://thebaddowns.com/

[Invader3K]

Here in the Fort area, Heartbreaker and The Karlz seem to be the popular acts lately. The Karlz are pretty fun...they put some unique spins on some relatively obscure choices for cover songs.
